Meti strongly believes that everyone has purpose in life and was born with a set of gifts to achieve the purpose. Her mission in producing With Meti (??? ?? ) is to bring those who are living their purpose to inspire, to inform and to intrigue.

Everything she learnt and worked for over two decades has been preparing Meti for this big leap in her professional life. Ever since high school, Meti has been dreaming of a career in media and it was triggered by Africa Journal, a magazine show produced by the legendary African journalist Mohammed Amin. Africa Journal, used to feature progressive, positive and uplifting stories from the continent that was at the time mislabeled “The Dark Continent”. Through his camera, Mohammed Amin was determined to reveal the immense light and abundance of Africa. Until Meti learnt the wealth, diversity, beauty and potential of Africa in the weekly magazine show, the only image she had about the continent was that it’s infested with disease, famine, poverty and war. Africa Journal made Meti realized the power of media to make or break. She chose to be the maker of good and positive using media.

Her journey in media that has started at the age of 19 as a Continuity Announcer on ETV has taken Meti to newspaper as a journalist on TimeOut Addis and recently on The Seychelles Independent. Meti is most recognized for producing and hosting valuable and informative programs on radio. She was the co-founder, producer and host of the popular Tadias Addis on Sheger FM 102.1 and Hawari Travel Show on Fana FM 98.1. She also produces and hosts an English weekly infotainment show on Afro 105.3 FM: In And Around With Meti.

Meti has realized that the best way to go about life is through self-reflection, self-mastery and self-transformation. Once she understood her calling is to serve as a leader to grow and to let grow, Meti decided to marry her curious and adventurous personality with her talent to connect with people and her passion to share. Hence the birth of her two shows: Let’s Go With Meti (???? ??? ?? ) and With Meti (??? ??).
